Ch. 1
There's Another Prince?!
With their royal tutor back, the four princes couldn't be happier. They learned so much from Heine and wanted to learn more form him. However, on this particular day, June fourteenth, all four princes stood outside. Gazing at the passing clouds overhead.
"Think we'll ever see him again?" Leonhard asks, breaking the silence between them.
"It's been eleven years since he disappeared. I honestly don't know anymore," Bruno admits sadly.
"All I remember about him is the song he sang. It always calmed me down when I got upset. I don't recall the lyrics, but the melody is still there," Licht says, trying to hold his tears back.
"He's alive," Kai says plainly. "He's still out there somewhere. I have a feeling we'll run into him unexpectedly. At least I hope." They let out a sad sigh as their royal tutor comes around.
"Is something the matter, my princes?" Heine asks softly.
"Hm?" they look down to see their tutor.
"Oh, Professor. Uh," Leonhard couldn't hold it back any longer. He bursts out crying as Bruno pulls him into a gently hug.
"Sorry, master. Could we not have a lesson today, please?" Bruno asks softly. Gently holding Leonhard, rubbing his back hoping to calm him down a bit.
"Of course. Though, if I may ask Your Highnesses. Did something happen on this day?" Heine asks. The four brothers gaze at each other before Kai speaks.
"I'll tell him. Go on inside and relax," he says.
"Thanks, Kai," Bruno nods, taking the younger two inside the palace. Heine waits patiently for the prince to continue.
"Eleven years ago, today," Kai began, now holding his right arm. "Our brother was taken away from us."
"That's sensitive subject for all four of you to talk about, I see," Heine says kindly, seeing the look on Kai's face and the fact he sort of forced those words out. "I won't ask any more on this subject, my prince. I apologize for asking." He bows before walking towards the palace doors.
"Professor," Kai says before Heine got any father. "It's time we've told you about him. There's no need to apologize. Please, meet us in the main hall around three."
"As you wish, Your Highness," They go inside as Heine checks the time. Almost three already he thought. Heading towards the main hall, going inside the large room to find the other three princes sitting on the couch waiting. Adele, the young princess also there with their palace dog Shadow.
"Hm? Oh, Kai. Professor Heine," Leonhard sniffs as the two named off sat down in separate chairs.
"Your Highnesses?"
"Adele has the right to know now, as well," Bruno says cleaning his glasses.
"His name's Yukito Seo. After his mother passed away, father adopted him. He told us that his mother saved his life one day when he snuck out of the palace," Kai continues the conversation. "Father felt like he owned her yet he had no idea how to. Until the day she died, he didn't want to leave her only child on the streets."
"Even though Yukito always stressed the fact that he was nothing more than a commoner… the four of us only felt like he was our real brother," Bruno takes over the story. "Yukito's the same age as me. He always found a way to lift my spirits."
Licht suddenly starts humming a little tune. Only a few seconds of it before a few tears fell from his eyes. "I got very upset one day… I don't remember why I was so upset. Yuki… Yuki sang to me that day, and whenever I couldn't sleep at night. But I can't remember the words. No matter how hard I try." He sniffs, "Yuki's mother sang that song to him almost every night while she was alive."
"One day, I dragged Yukito far into the woods," Kai took over again. "We played for a long time before I tripped over a twig and hit my arm on a hard, sturdy rock. Breaking it and with us being so far from the palace… Yukito fashioned a splint and sling. Then literally carried me on his back, back to the palace. I passed out from the pain. Woke up the next morning to find my arm in a professional splint and sling. Also, that Yukito came down with a bad fever after bringing me home, around midnight."
"Yukito… he," Leonhard finally spoke up, as his tears came back. "He saved me from some kidnappers. He has always been a good fighter."
"That day was pretty frightening for us all. Especially Leo," Licht says softly.
"I recall someone grabbing me from behind. A hand across my mouth before I could scream," Leonhard shivers. "Yukito showed up before whoever grabbed me could get away. He fought the man, snatching me back, shouting, 'Everyone back in the carriage now!' He gives me to Kai, practically shoving everyone inside."
"We all saw the attackers before Yukito shoved us in the carriage," Bruno takes over. "He stayed behind to keep the attackers busy so we could escape." He bites his lip trying to keep his tears in.
"Father and I looked out the window, back at the battle. Trying to get Yukito to come along or hide but," Kai pipes in. "The attackers subdued him and took him away."
"I wish he was here with us," Leonhard sobs.
"I wish I could meet him," Adele says.
"I'm sure one day he'll return, Your Highnesses," Heine assures them.
